Assignment: lab report Diffusion across a semi permeable membrane Paragraph plz

Biology
1 answer:
lubasha [3.4K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This is the movement of molecules and ions from one medium to another,based on the concentration gradients, diffusion distant and area exposed. The plasma membrane is made up of phospholipid-bi-layer, to regulate what passes through.

However,because most of the molecules that diffuses across the membrane are small,non-polar, the bi -layer can not restrain their movements. O2, CO2 and lipids cross this barrier with ease by simple diffusion. However, polar molecules are restricted from passing through..

Distinguish between active and passive transport. Make sure to provide examples of each. Why are the functions of active and pas
Julli [10]
<h2>Active & Passive transport</h2>

Explanation:

  • Active transport is where a chemical reaction using ATP moves things in/out of the cell through transport proteins within the cell wall. It uses a concentration gradient to trigger the reaction (it goes against the concentration gradient in active transport)
  • Molecules move against a concentration gradient ( low concentration ―→ high concentration)
  • Cellular energy (ATP) is required
  • Passive transport also uses a concentration gradient by diffusion (hydrophobic or very small polar molecules) and facilitated diffusion via carrier proteins and channels
  • Molecules move along the concentration gradient (high concentration ―→ low concentration)
  • No cellular energy is required

Use you knowledge of lipids to explain why desert plants need the waxy coating on their leaves to survive?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Fats and lipids are hydrophobic which makes them water repelling compounds. Therefore, presence of a waxy coating on the outer skin of the desert plant prevents loss of water via evaporation from the skin of the plants. This helps the plant store water and increases its survival period.
